A/N: Hey guys. I just saw I didn't "sign" my first chapter. pouts Darn. Anyway. I hope you all enjoy this chapter. I didn't wanna write it so Bruce already called Wally and Roy while Dick was sleeping. It's Saturday still and the boys are Zetaing over. All this happens while Bruce thinks Dick is sleeping but really the boy is curled up in his closet. OKAY! I had this author's note done since the first day I posted the first chapter and now I'm telling you why it's so late. I was writing and writing like I said I would but I ended up on other stories and making new stories so now I'm sitting here like "That's it! Finish a chapter already" So here it is!

Okay, this is a long author's note but heh, thanksgiving is a good time to update right? I have a cold! Why did I say that? That will remain unknown.

ONTO THE STORY!_

Dick was shaking pretty badly from the cold that was his dark secluded closet. He shivered heavily from where he sat. Gotham decided it'd be a perfect day to blizard and Dick always prefered the heat.

Right now though, He thought he deserved to freeze. He'd been sitting secretly in his closet for around 3 hours now. It was around eight in the morning right now and he got his normal 4 hours of bat-sleep. Dick was in his pajama's. The thin fabric doing nothing to warm him.

He was sitting there so long he was pretty sure he was developing a minor, maybe major, case of hypothermia. God, it was cold! He turned the temperature way down in his closet so if the snow didn't freeze him the unusually low tempatures would.

That's when he heard a knock on his door and the sound of his second father's voice. "Dick, Roy and Wally are here. Can they come in?" Bruce was stuck inside because of the blizard. 'They must've Zetaed here.' Dick thought when his shakey voice called out "Y-Y-Yeah! S-Sure." A violent shiver racked his form and he curled in a little further on himself.

He heard the door quickly open and three sets of footsteps. "Dick! Are you okay?" he heard Roy shout but he didn't anwser. He was just gonna wait till they found him. He wanted to freeze to death. It's the worst way to go other then falling but he couldn't handle falling. He couldn't. _

Bruce Wally and Roy were panicing. Dick wasn't in his room. They searched but found nothing. Roy walked over to the closet and hopefully opened the door.

He was hit with a freezing blast of air and he shivered. He looked down and saw the curled up form of the boy wonder, shivering and shuddering.

"Dick!" He called picking up his baby brother. Bruce and Wally turned to him and both were by his side in a second. Dick shuddered again before looking up and asking "Why'd you take me out?"

Roy placed him on the bed and picked a soft plush stuffed elephant named Peanut off the floor, giving it to the little bird on the bed. "It's freezing in there Dick. Are you okay?" Bruce asked while Wally and Roy looked at their brother. Dick shook his head "I d-d-d-deserved i-i-it." he stuttered out while Wally sped around the room grabbing blankets and handing them to Roy who wrapped them around Dick while Bruce turned up the tempature in the closet and told alfred to make some hot cocoa for all of them.

"Don't you dare say that Dick." Roy stated firmly hugging the little bird close to his warm chest. Dick shivered violently in Roy's embrace and he stuttered out "I-I-It's t-true. I K-killed her." and at this Wally and Bruce both joined the embrace though it was extremely awkward for Bruce since Wally and Roy were part of this hug.

Alfred came into the room holding a tray of hot chocolate and smiled lightly when he saw the 4 boys, Bruce being just a boy to him of course, in a large embrace on the bed. "Your hot chocolates young masters." Alfred stated making the others in the room look at him Dick still shivering heavily. Roy got up and grabbed the tray giving Alfred a thankful smirk before trying to give Dick a cup.

Dick just shook his head and whispered "I don't want it, It'll only make me feel better." Bruce put in hands on Dick's shoulders and for the second time Dick looked up this time his eyes filled with tears "Dick, You didn't do anything on purpose none of that was your fault. Do you understand?" he asked and Dick nodded "I understand, I just don't believe you."

Wally handed the cocoa to Dick again "Then do this for us. Please." Wally pleaded and Dick gave a small nod taking the cup and sipping it lightly before he could stop him self he drank to cup, Damn Alfred and his ability to please his taste buds!

The other chuckled lightly thinking the same thing as they downed their cups as well. "Darn it." Dick mumbled and the other realized he wasn't shivering anymore. "Master Bruce, Someone is on the phone." Alfred called from down the hall and Bruce gave Dick a hug before leaving the door softly shutting behind him.

A/N: Like I said writing and writing, not getting one chapter done. I'm ashamed and REALLY sorry. So sorry. and also sorry it's short on really excited about some other stories not even posted and I'm not sure if I will post them, so sooooorry.

Oh my god, So it's thankgiving now and I realized how long it's really been considering how these and my author's notes are written. Blech. I hope you enjoyed this and the edit for the first chapter.
